Used 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI

This 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI S 4-Door delivers the kind of balanced performance and everyday usability that has made the GTI one of the most respected hot hatchbacks ever produced. Finished in Carbon Steel Gray Metallic over the iconic Titan Black interior with Clark Plaid sport seats, this GTI blends timeless design with driver-focused engineering. Power comes from Volkswagen’s turbocharged 2.0L TSI engine producing 210 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that puts full control back in the driver’s hands. The GTI’s front-wheel-drive layout, brake-actuated limited slip differential, and driver-selectable driving modes deliver confident handling and sharp throttle response, whether navigating city streets or open highways. Inside, the cabin is purpose-built and comfortable, featuring sport front bucket seats, a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth audio and hands-free connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and steering-wheel-mounted controls. Practical touches like rear climate vents, a rigid cargo cover, and fold-down rear seating make this GTI just as useful day to day as it is engaging to drive. Safety remains a strong point, with a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA, rearview camera, post-collision braking, traction control, and a comprehensive airbag system providing added peace of mind. The Golf GTI has consistently earned praise from outlets like Car and Driver and MotorTrend for delivering true performance without sacrificing practicality, often outperforming competitors such as the Ford Focus ST and Subaru WRX in ride comfort and interior refinement. If you’re looking for a performance hatchback with real pedigree, a driver-focused manual transmission, and a reputation built over decades, this GTI S deserves a closer look.
